Nov-29-14  coolconundrum: Have to admire the "cunning" of Whites queen trap, just too bad the rook and two minors he gave up to win it wasn't such a great deal.

  PawnSac: yes, i definitely prefer the rook + 2 B's to the Q. They can cover a lot more squares with a greater number of complicating possibilities.

I mean, think about it. I'm going to hand you a sword. Now which would you rather face. 1 lion? or 3 hyenas?

  Penguincw: 21.Re4 was a mistake in my opinion. Had white moved the rook afterwards, then it would've been better. Honestly, white only has 3 pieces left, and deciding to trade them off is just helping black.
